Man that looks big you need 37's :p

I'm thinking 35's so I do not have to regear for now. Then go 37's, ARBs, regear all in one shot.

I lucked out. I did not have to use the brake lines because I had already put on Slee's stainless steel kit. :)
 
I want to see the 40 on the trailer behind it:steer:



Let me know what your looking for and I'll see what I can do on price ;)

That would be a cool site if I say so myself! You will be my first call. I not only need tires I need wheels too that have less backspacing. The saying goes, go higher, go wider.

Jeff, you might need adjustable rear upper control arms to get the rear pinion down....or a double-cardan CV.

Dave, I've been thinking about that too. I talked with LT (at MetalTech) and I'm just going to have to flex the suspension to check clearances. One thing that may help me is that my back DS is from a FJ60 and therefore longer. We will just have to see. Did you find a DC DS for yours?

Grogan swears the stock gears are better suited for 37s than for 35s...of course, he's still running the 1FZ.
 
I liked the 4.10 ( with 35's) on mine ok but I picked up one mpg with 4.56's and the power with a trailer is way better and I can still cruise at 70 just fine.

I did source a DC DS, but I also bought Slee's DIY rear upper adjustable control arm kit and just pointed my pinion down. I can cruise 75 without the major vibes I used to have. The easiest thing to do is to get some pinion flange/output flange angles and see where you're at.

Let me know how you like those springs. I'm thinking of getting their 4" or 6" in the future. Right now, I run OME heavies with spacers for a 4" equivalent lift.

I would like to know if those shocks are up to the task ( travel ) with those 6" coils ( sure you will have more than 6" now )

What size are the bfg's you have on there now?

Looks like they're 285's, so 33" or so. They look to be measuring about 32.5" or so on the truck, and you can just barely see the sizing in the first measurement pic.
